BDNF increases associated with constant troponin T levels and may protect against poor cognitive interference control: the SABPA prospective study
(Wiley, 2019)
Background: Brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) modulates brain health and cognition, which can interfere with executive cognitive function. BDNF was impli-cated with microcirculatory ischaemia and may reflect ...
Retinal vasculature reactivity during flicker light provocation, cardiac stress and stroke risk in Africans: the SABPA study
(Springer, 2019)
Structural and functional similarities exist between the retinal, cerebral and, as previously suggested, the coronary microvasculature. Retinal microvascular structure and functionality (in response to flicker-light-indu ...
Longitudinal changes of cardiac troponin and inflammation reflect progressive myocyte stretch and likelihood for hypertension in a Black male cohort: the SABPA study
(Springer, 2019)
Inflammation was cross-sectionally associated with subclinical wall remodeling and hypertension. Whether longitudinal changes (∆) in inflammation, myocyte injury (troponin T), and stretch (N-terminal-pro-B-type natriuretic ...
Ethnicity-specific changes in cardiac troponin t in response to acute mental stress and ethnicity-specific cutpoints for the R wave of the aVL lead: the SABPA study
(Oxford Univ Press, 2019)
Acute mental stressor–induced cardiac stress responses might contribute to excessive myocardial strain and resultant cardiovascular episode risk. We assessed ethnicity-specific acute cardiac stress (by measuring cardiac ...
